Who Do You Think You Are? Faced with hard-to-hear news, Emma (right) learns that while her family tree includes some great people

It’s unusual to see the normally bright-eyed and bubbly former model get emotional and teary, but as she investigates deep into the olden days, she can’t help but be moved by what she finds out.

The ​Midlander is keen on delving into hundreds of years of her family history and has her heart set on the news that she’s ​“​a proper Brummie”​. But will she like all that she hears, or will something – or someone – wipe the smile off her face?

Faced with hard-to-hear news, Emma (right) learns that while her family tree includes some great people – such as a prolific Irish ​grafter who was an influential Dubliner, craftsman and pioneer for the working class in 1862 – there’s also a not​-​so​-​welcome historical addition: in 1797, her ​five-times great-grandfather was said to be a “murderous” man, stabbing, beating and torturing father-and-son blacksmiths.​
